  1. Molecular markers and genomics: interfacing pre-breeding and commercial wheat breeding Dr Michael Francki Manager- Biotechnology Plant and Animal Genome XVI Town and Country Hotel, San Diego, CA 12 January 2008

  2. Pre-breeding and commercial breeding

  3. Target traits for pre-breeding of spring wheat in Western Australia Disease: Stagonospora nodorum (leaf and glume resistance) New sources of rust resistance Abiotic Stress: Salt tolerance- exploitation of wild relatives Grain quality: Genetic analysis and QTL in adapted germplasm: Flour (b*) colour, milling yield, water absorption, non-null4A GBSS FSV Adaptation: Allelic determinants of Ppd and Vrn genes for adaptation of Australian wheat to major grain production zones

  4. Leaf blotch Glume blotch S. nodorum- QTL mapping Adult plant resistance from spring and winter wheat sources Polygenic control- independent flag leaf and glume resistance QTL and flanking markers identified Flag Leaf: chromosome2DL (Shankar et al, in press) Flag Leaf: chromosome 2AL (unpublished) Glume: chromosome 2DL (Uphaus et al, 2007. Crop Sci 47:1813) Glume: chromosome 4BL (Shankar et al, in press) Phenotyping in multiple locations (local environments, USA and Australia) Each QTL accounts for 10-38% of total phenotypic variation Heritability: 0.77-0.81

  5. S. nodorum- Adoption through germplasm development • Donor Parent • leaf (2DL) and glume (4BL) resistance from spring wheat 6HRWSN125 • glume (2DL) resistance from winter wheat P91193D1 • Choice of recurrent parents • Stage 3&4 crossbreds and released varieties- hard, soft and noodle classes with acceptable quality standards • Minimal standards for rust resistance • Marker polymorphism flanking QTL • Same Rht1 and Rht2 alleles • Background resistance to S. nodorum • Backcrossing and marker screening • Generate BC1F2 (spring wheat donor) and BC2F2 lines (winter wheat donor) • SSR screening at each generation using Multiplex Ready Technology™ (MRT™)

  6. 2040 assays 6888 assays BC1F2 selections from 6 populations 63 lines with leaf QTL 107 lines with glume QTL 11 lines with leaf and glume QTL BC1F2 phenotyping commencing in 2008 BC2F2 selections from 8 populations ongoing X X S. nodorum- MAS using MRT 14 populations developed: 350-400 BC1F2 andBC2F2 progeny/population Selection of heterozygous lines for QTL at BC1F1/ BC2F1 using single SSR Selection of homozygous lines for QTL at BC1F2/ BC2F2 using flanking SSRs

  7. 1DL.1RS Gabo T6-1 49-7 CS 0c 4 4 0c 4 Novel stem rust resistance (SrR) SrR+ identified on chromosome 1RS from ‘Imperial’ rye in 1DL.1RS translocation (notSr31) Linkage between secalin and rust resistance broken in 1DS recombinants T6-1: SrR+ Sec-1- T49-7: SrR- Sec-1+ pAS1 + Rye DNA probe Rye DNA probe Small introgression Rye DNA probe Rye DNA probe

  8. SrR+Sec-1- WAWHT2046 SrR+Sec-1- BC1F1 individuals BC1F1 individuals parents for recurrent backcrossing Deployment of SrR • Deployment in Western Australian wheat germplasm • PCR marker, AW2-5, developed for tracking rye segment • Deploying SrR on rye segment in WA adapted germplasm • 5 BC4F2 populations using hard, soft and noodle varieties as recurrent parents • Selection at each backcross generation using AW2-5 • Grain quality evaluation at BC4F3 to confirm no quality defects

  9. Wheatgrass chromatin 524-568 Salt tolerance from wild relatives • Na+ exclusion from tall wheatgrass introgressed into wheat • Homoeologous group 3 substitution lines account for ~50% of Na+ exlcusion (Mullan et al 2007 MGG 277:199) • Induce homoeologous recombination with wheat • Marker development (EST-SSR) for tracking small wheatgrass segments (Mullan et al 2005, Genome 48:811) • Classify karyotypes according to different introgressed segments (Mullan et al, unpublished)

  10. Salt tolerance-comparative genomics and candidate genes Functional genes for Na+ transport in Arabidopsis SOS1, NHX1, NHX5, AVP1, AVP2, HKT1, LCT1 Comparative genomics to identify orthologs in wheat and wheatgrass using rice as a bridging species

  11. Gene expression of SOS1 and HKT1 in 3E substitution lines +/- 200 mM Na Cl Complex interaction of other genes from wheat and wheatgrass for low Na+ accumulation Salt tolerance- gene location and expression Chromosomal assignment of wheat and wheatgrass orthologs forSOS1, NHX1, NHX5, AVP1, AVP2, HKT1, LCT1
